Metrotube for Windows 8 is right around the corner

Metrotube is by far the most popular YouTube application for Windows Phone. Wouldn’t it be great if that same interface was available for your Surface or PC? It will be soon, because Metrotube for Windows 8 is almost here.

Lazyworm Applications, the team behind Metrotube and Tweetro+, are on track to submit Metrotube for Windows 8 to the Store within the two weeks. The app will be free for everyone and the team will accept donations through the form of an in-app payment system. Otherwise there won’t be any ads obstructive your experience while using the app.

If you have any questions about Metrotube for Windows 8 sound off below, the developers tend to hang around and respond. You can also reach out to them on Twitter. Don't forget to subscribe to the Windows Phone Central YouTube channel for the latest videos. Anybody excited to load this up on their Surface?

The mean time you can use Youtube+, it's technically a free app, where the trial is full unrestricted use, and purchasing the app only removes adverts. Been using it sine consumer preview and it is deffinetely the best youtube app out there.

Because vevo videos contain original music videos and it's really hard to find them from other users. Yes its a YouTube client meaning it should play anything without limitation. So I just use the website now instead

I agree. The Vevo app is actually quite fantastic and they got my support after doing their updates and making it consistent across all platforms (android, iOS and WP8 all have same features). Good on them.

Guys from WP Central: It would be cool if you did a survey asking readers for which Windows Phone apps we would like to see in Windows 8/RT and then make a top 10 apps that we most want to be ported to the big screen.

I would love WPCentral App as well. It's on my top five list at #1
#2MetroTube
#3Fantasia Painter
#4The current Music + Vidoe app. it's not perfects but it's 100 times better then whet we have on W8
#5 BBC

Pleaaaase bring the suggestions tab videos linked to your account in next metrotube updates.Been using metrotube since its available on the store and STILL the very best youtube app.Thanks to the pin options for subs and favs!!!! Great work guys ;)

Dont worry LazywormApps! Your full supporters know the truth! I`ve been here since you guys first started and have to say you guys have done an amazing job and have made a giant leap over the years! Keep up the great work! Hopefully one day MS will be able to have some sort of feature to make any YouTube app as our default player, and you will definitely be on mine and MANY others :).

If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't do HD video though, right? I remember using YouTube via IE on an ex girlfriend's Lumia 900, and the video was pretty pixelated. All in all, not a fan of mobile IE; it wouldn't even render my two banks' websites properly.

That's very exciting. Been living with primetube which is also quite well designed but definitely looking forward to metrotube on win8. They need to improve the wp8 too though, search predictions is missing

Awesome!!! I can't wait for this on my surface pro. Prime tube is ok but metrotube is THE best YouTube I've ever used!! I've been waiting for it..

Can I just ask - will metrotube on win 8 search the desktop or mobile YouTube. Also what will the live tile show?? Lastly will there be a preload feature???
thanks for your hard work. I love my surface pro and this and thus is all I need!!

You will be able to find any YouTube video, live tile will fip through either show popular or subscription videos depending on sign in status and pre-loading won't make it into the first version but it is on the to-do list for the next major update :)

On a side note...i wish these guys would make a program that replaced Xbox Video to watch and ORGANIZE our own videos. I'm tired of all my movies and TV shows being thrown together in a ball under "other" with no DVD or Series cover art. Help us Lazy Worm!!!!

Nice. I'll be sending them 5 bucks for their effort. They should also create a music + video app because they seem to understand what us early adopter's like when it comes to this metro thing, the crap Microsoft gave use for audio + video is way below standards.

Loved metro tube since the beginning but in the last few days its started crashing and getting really slow again, so got the new youtube app and its sooooo smooth and lovely, cant remember the name I will have a look, wpc had it up yesterday, anyway, using lumia820 Mtube has done this b4, I have uninstalled reinstalled it but still the same?? Mytube, its brilliant, but iam not saying Mtube isn't, it just ain't working for me at the moment
